Aisopou mythoi

Aesop, Patousas, John · 1644 · [Enetiesi : en te Salekate · 65 pictures

Aisopou mythoi is a collection of Aesop's fables printed in Venice in 1644, edited by John Patousas, and intended for readers of Greek. The pictures are small woodcut vignettes set in open landscapes with trees, hills and water, each showing a single animal episode. A designer might take their loose hatched linework and sky bands as a model for rustic, old-world illustration.
